49:24 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I will be presenting the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

It was my first time back to the World Trade Center area since 9/11. I started off in lower Manhattan, and walked up along the Hudson River, to the World Financial Center, still being repaired. Later in the tape, I explore classic video game arcades in Times Square – visiting Laser Park and Broadway City Arcade – and talking about many other now long-lost landmarks of the area. Also on the tape are ambient sounds of commuting, notes on my Obliviana project (which would come to an end a year later), and much more… Recorded Feb 1-4, 2002.

1:34:32 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I will be presenting the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

Recorded on Tuesday, October 24, and Wednesday, October 25, 1989, on this tape I’m “wallowing in the late 80s” and describing my deeply weird, intricately detailed dreams. It’s right after my magazine, Anything But Monday, collapsed, and I’m living at home with my parents, unemployed. It starts off with me playing Tetris on my Mac Plus in the basement, talking about my life, and then getting into the dreams.

I really enjoyed hearing this cassette – it is being presented here for the first time ever – as I hadn’t even heard it since I recorded it over 27 years ago.

1:13:44 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I will be presenting the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

On this tape from 2001, I talk a lot about an audio project called “Stormtoon“, which didn’t really go anywhere, but was an important step on my way to starting The Overnightscape 16 months later. Recorded on 11/13/01, 11/18/01 and 11/25/01, it also contains ambient sounds of commuting, World Trade Center, dreams, KISS, 209, driving in the rain, Earth Jerk audio movie idea, and more.
